Blind Item #5 - Reader Blind

This foreign band had its heyday a number of decades ago although until recently there was a version still touring.  They were never giant stars but people  who like a certain genre and of a particular age would know them. Their most successful record was not a studio recording

During its heyday, these two former members were partying with a couple of groupies after a gig. 

The still living member was originally from another country, not the band's home country nor the USA.  He had played in a bigger band briefly before joining this one and later had a band that bore his name.  At one point, he was considered one of the most accomplished in the world on his particular instrument.

The other member who passed away not that long ago also had a few successful outside projects although he was primarily associated with this band.  He had a reputation as a wild party animal and wrote an autobiography awhile back. 

Both members and the groupies were naked. The musicians were trying to entertain the groupies by lighting their farts on fire.  However, by this points they had spilled liquor over the groupies.  As the still living member lit a fart on fire, he accidentally set fire to one of the groupies who was performing fellatio on him..  She suffered third degree burns on her shoulders and chest. The band quietly gave her a lot of money in order to prevent the story from getting out - paid for all medical expenses as well as giving her hush money.
